Inkaterra La Casona: A Timeless Escape into Cusco’s Hidden Elegance
A sustainable urban sanctuary blending yoga, plant-based dining, and Parisian elegance.
10 de março de 2025
Tucked away in the lively 9th arrondissement, HOY Paris is not your average boutique hotel. A fusion of holistic wellness and eco-conscious design, this little oasis brings mindfulness to the heart of Montmartre without skimping on style. HOY—short for “House of Yoga” and the Spanish word for “today”—is a place where every detail invites you to slow down, breathe deeply, and embrace the present moment (preferably with a matcha latte in hand).
They’ve carefully sourced second-hand furniture, given reclaimed wood a second life, and even ensure that when their towels have lived their best fluffy lives, they’re donated instead of tossed. It’s this kind of thoughtful, full-circle approach that makes HOY feel less like a hotel and more like a movement.

Serene Sleep Spaces
The rooms at HOY are more like zen Parisien cocoons than standard hotel accommodations. Think earthy tones, natural materials, and just the right amount of minimalist chic. No TVs here—because they’d only distract from the real luxury: an environment designed for deep rest. Instead, you’ll find air-purifying plants, organic bedding, and yoga mats at the ready for your morning sun salutations.

Downward Dog, Deep Breaths & Delicious Plant-Based Feasts
Since HOY is, at its core, a wellness haven, it’s no surprise that it boasts its own yoga studio, offering classes that range from invigorating flows to slow, meditative sessions. If stretching isn’t your thing, book a holistic treatment—maybe a CBD massage or energy therapy session?
Post-wellness bliss, MESA de HOY is where the magic happens. The hotel’s plant-based restaurant serves up a rotating seasonal menu inspired by Latin American flavors, proving that sustainable eating can be both exciting and indulgent. (Yes, even die-hard carnivores will be impressed.)

Little Touches That Make a Big Difference
HOY goes beyond just being “green”—it’s about living with intention. There’s an in-house florist creating gorgeous, seasonal arrangements, a curated selection of eco-friendly wellness products, and events that bring together Paris’ conscious community. Whether it’s a breathwork workshop or a talk on sustainability, this space feels more like a movement than just a place to stay.
